The three towns of Wuhan, located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and the Jianghan Plain, occupies the center of China's territory and were the second largest city in China at that time. From June to October 1938, the Chinese army launched the largest major battle since the Anti-Japanese War in the Wuhan area with the Japanese aggressors. The battlefield unfolded outside Wuhan along the north and south banks of the Yangtze River. The battlefield extended to a vast area in the four provinces of Anhui, Henan, Jiangxi, and Hubei. Hundreds of large and small battles took place for four and a half months. "Defending Wuhan" is a battle with the longest front, the largest scale, the longest duration and a major turning point since the Anti-Japanese War. In preparation for the Wuhan War, the Japanese army successively deployed 9 divisions, 3 brigades and two field heavy artillery brigades, totaling 250,000 people. It also had 120 ships of various types from the Navy's 3rd Fleet and Aviation Corps, and more than 500 aircraft participated in the war, with a total force of nearly 350,000 people.

In the face of national and national disasters, writers cannot close their eyes. Reportage has always been known for its sense of responsibility. When the country is in trouble and the nation is worried, reportage writers always step forward, risking risks, conducting on-site interviews, and responding quickly. During the 1998 flood fight, 2003 SARS, 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, and 10 Yushu earthquake, reportage writers always arrived at the scene as soon as possible and wrote a number of touching works. As a literary genre known for its authenticity, reportage also plays an extremely important memo and reminder function. As history fades away, reportage writers urgently need to give a loud shout to warn people who are immersed in the complicated worldly affairs. They must not forget the national tragedy, the national humiliation, the historical tragedy and the catastrophic suffering the nation has suffered; let alone forget the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War who fought bloody battles and shed blood for national freedom and independence.
